I mean, spellings of words change all the time. Hell, when I was in school you'd lose points on papers for spelling "doughnut" as "donut", but now that shorter version is concidered a correct spelling and is no longer tagged by spell check.

We as a society can literally will this spelling to be concidered correct through shear usage.

Heehee concidered and shear. You literally made me go back and spellcheck your whole comment in case I'd missed more.

I have never been a good speller, and this app nor my phones keyboard do spellchecking.

Well I thought the joke I assumed you were making was a good fit for your point, which I agree with btw. Spellcheck wouldn't catch "shear" anyway, that's the cutting one.

The see-through one has ee.

Why "sheer" is also the one you meant, meaning utter or complete, I don't know.

English.
